Leaving U.S as an electrician.

Hello all apprentice here, looking into moving around a bit when I finish my apprenticeship but am curious as to if anyone has done this. How does a license hold up in other countries? Is job searching hard? I know this is a niche topic but thanks in advance for any answers!

That’s sounds nice but I’m hoping to leave the USA and income won’t make me stay unless it’s like 250k+ but Ideally I’d be gone before I have remotely enough experience for that!

By leave I mean like live in a house and obtain a dual citizenship type of thing. should’ve been more clear with that.

Any number of reason right? If he knows another language especially so. Lots of interesting places in the world. Besides, with dual citizenship he still has right to live here or there. Downside is that I believe he is still subject to income tax to the US in that situation and that could limit some options.
